Environmentally Friendly Products

We encourage the use of environmentally friendly garden products. Too much fertilizer is never a good thing. It is always best to get your lawn and garden soil tested before any application of fertilizer. Always follow the instructions of any amendment that you add and use precaution if your site is close to any bodies of water. For detailed info on Phosphorous pollution visit http://www.nhlakes.org/ed_phos_poll.htm.

Soil testing will also determine soil pH. NH soil is naturally acid and many plants will not thrive in an acidic soil. A proper pH is key to a successful lawn and garden.

To give your garden or lawn a healthy boost we recommend top dressing with a thin layer of compost. Coast of Maine is locally produced organic compost that we use in our gardens at Wentworth Greenhouses.
